Harshvardhan Kapoor: I love Alia, I think she's by far the best in the current lot
Mirzya stars Harshvardhan Kapoor and Saiyami Kher take on 21 Questions about movies, favourite film stars, love, relationships and much more...
Mirzya, that releases today, will introduce two new faces in the industry " Harshvardhan Kapoor and Saiyami Kher. Both of them are very different from each other " Saiyami has this old-world charm whereas Harsh is very new-age, up-to-date about everything in life. But their bonding is for everyone to see. We sit with the two newcomers for a round of 21 Questions and the two actors hit it out of the ballpark with their camaraderie. More than a competition (like it usually is with rapid fires!), these two were helping each other complete their answers. Read on...
1. Your real-life hero is...
Saiyami: Sachin Tendulkar! I love him. He inspires me so much. Not many know that I love sports and I am very good at it. So yeah, he's my hero.
Harsh: Can I be honest? I don't have heroes!
2. Your favourite actor on screen would be...
S: Amitabh Bachchan. There's no one better than him.
H: From Bollywood or Hollywood? I would pick Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling. They are fab artistes.
3. One thing you learnt while working on Mirzya is...
S: How little I know and how much I need to learn...
H: To keep going.. no matter what! ALSO READ - This person helped Sayami Kher and Harshvardhan Kapoor BREAK the ice during Mirzya shooting!
4. One thing you would love to change about yourself...
H: I sleep too much!
S: (Thinks) Maybe not be so emotional...
H: (Cuts in) And not be so idealistic about romance!
S: I don't want to change. I like it.
5. If you had to play a superhero on screen, you would be...
S: I have to be a girl, so Wonder Woman!
H: I think I'm playing Bhavesh Joshi, which is more a vigilante film and heroic, even if not a superhero.
6. One Bollywood star you are dying to work with..
S: Amitabh Bachchan. I envy Shraddha because she did Teen Patti with him! (Smiles)
H: Priyanka Chopra. I love her!
7. One actor of this generation you think you will make an amazing jodi with...
S: Ranbir Kapoor, possibly!
H: Maybe, Alia!
8. A contemporary actor whose work you love...
H: I love the choices that Ranbir Kapoor makes. Also, Ranveer Singh was exceptional in Lootera.
S: I love Alia. I think she's by far the best in the current lot. No one can deny that. She can pull off any role. And I think Highway will always remain a benchmark for me as a performer.
9. If you were given a chance to pack your bags and do anything you can for a day, you would...
H: Be a writer who travels.
S: Go to Ladakh for a trek!
10. One thing you would love to change in this industry...
H: Promoting films at shopping malls. (Laughs out loud)
S: Promoting films. I just want people to watch it. I don't like these tacky promotions.
H: I think what she's trying to say is that sitting down and talking to somebody like this is great. But I think it will get to a point where the marketing teams will just put out the trailer and ask us to talk to people, and then people will go to see the film. I think there's a lot of unnecessary things that people do today which aren't required.
11. What if a person of the same sex hit on you?
S: I will accept it with gratitude. Compliments are compliments, yaar!
H: I will realise that I have a homosexual fan following which is amazing and is great! ALSO READ - Mirzya song Chakora: Harshvardhan Kapoor and Saiyami Kher's new song is a perfect blend of folk and trance
12. Something you would never do on screen
Both of them: Never say never!
13. Strangest rumour you have heard about yourself...
H: That I am rude to journalists, that I'm dating lots of people I'm not.
S: I haven't heard any! (suddenly remembers) Oh yeah, there's one. People claim that I'm dating this politican.
H: (Cuts in) who's actually a childhood friend of hers...
14. One prank you played on someone...
S: I threw my hairdresser into a lake!
H: I haven't really played any pranks.
S: He's a good boy. (Smiles)
15. A prank someone else has played on you?
S: Generally, I am the one playing it. So nobody dares to play a prank on me.
H: Nothing!
16. The weirdest thing you've faced at work till date...
S: I wasn't a very filmi kid, to be honest. I was brought up in Nagpur, away from showbiz. Not many knew who I was and who my aunts were. So there was one scumbag who had tried to proposition me over the phone. He didn't know about my lineage and thought I would fall for his trap. I don't know if that's what you call the casting couch, but the reality is that many people do misuse their power in a lot of ways.
H: You're asking me about casting couch? No, I haven't been on one yet. (Smiles)
17. One thing that separates you from your contemporaries?
H: The want to take risks with every film.
S: My love for the old world.
18. Your secret vice is...
H: I'm addicted to playing poker.
S: Chocolate maybe! That's the only vice I have!
19.One secret no-one knows...
S: I am in love with Gulzar saab.
H: I've already told you something which I haven't told anyone. (Check out our next story on Harsh) ALSO READ - HEARTBREAK ALERT! Mirzya star Saiyami Kher is dating someone, and it's not Harshvardhan Kapoor!
20. Staying single or committed in love...
S: Being committed to who I love.
H: For me, it would be staying single.
21. Your idea of a perfect date?
H: For me, it's taking a girl to dinner and talking and having a glass of wine.
S: Going for a trek together!
H: That is so romantic, ya.
